Shadow Protocols. Cyber War and Secret Agencies, #1.1

In a near-future world teetering on the brink of chaos, Jack Carter-a brilliant but haunted hacker-receives a cryptic message warning of an impending cyber-attack capable of crippling global infrastructure. Drawn into a covert war led by Vlad, a ruthless cyber-tyrant with apocalyptic ambitions, Jack teams up with D, a former enforcer seeking redemption, and Khan, a reclusive tech genius haunted by his past failures.
Together, they navigate a neon-lit cityscape filled with digital perils, deadly mercenaries, and AI threats, racing against time to infiltrate Vlad's fortress and prevent his plan to plunge society into chaos. As betrayals surface and the line between humanity and machine blurs, they must confront their darkest secrets-trust, loyalty, and the cost of salvation-in a high-octane battle where shadows hide monsters, and survival depends on the strength of their resolve.
